No zombies (yet)?

September 11th, 2008 signither

So, the £5 billion LHC machine on the Swiss-French border was activated yesterday and it seems like the “Big Bang” experiment started very well. But..

The BBC understands that low-energy collisions could happen in the next few days. This will allow engineers to calibrate instruments, but will not produce data of scientific interest. (Source)

The switch-on saw the first stream of subatomic particles - known as Hadrons - circulating in the tunnel. The first collisions are expected in around 30 days. (Source)

This means that only the machine was being activated yesterday and the particle smashing experiment that recreate the conditions during the “Big Bang” will only take place in a few days up to a month time.

I am no expert in this field as I am fukken noob in physics, but when someone 1337 like Professor Otto Rossler voiced his concerns saying that black holes created by the LHC will grow uncontrollably and “eat the planet from the inside” (Source), I believe we should at least be prepared for any outcomes, from something small like an explosion up to something big like the black holes (or a portal zomg!).

Well, I think I need to find myself this zombie kit now:

..before Wednesday, 10/09/08.

Have you ever heard of Large Hadron Collider?

Sep 8 - Scientists involved in a historic “Big Bang” experiment to begin this week hope it will turn up many surprises about the universe and its origins — but reject suggestions it will bring the end of the world.

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator will be launched on Wednesday (September 10) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), based in Geneva. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is in an underground ring tunnel of 27 kilometres (17 miles) beneath the French-Swiss border. Scientists will recreate conditions just after what was known as “The Big Bang” by colliding two beams of particles at close to the speed of light in a bid to understand the origins of the universe. Critics say the $9 billion dollar project is a doomsday machine that could destroy the planet. They fear the experiment could generate black holes that could gobble up the earth - a theory CERN scientists reject.

Well, if not a black hole, maybe it could open up a portal to another dimension.

ARE YOU PREPARED?

yang dikejar tak dapat..

yang dikendong berciciran..

adeh2.. tadi saje bermain install fedora 8.. saje mahu mengetest fedora yang baru ini.. tapi setelah selesai berinstall, ntah ngape tidak dpdt pula mensetup wireless network.. mahu bergoogle, tiada internet.. maka mahu memboot ke xp kembali.. namun mendapat error ini:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file

adeh2.. fedora telah mengkorupkan xp kah?? pening2.. cane nih.. tidak berkompiter lah saye.. huhu.. tibe2 teringat penyelamat.. incik ubuntu.. huhu.. sib baik la mempunyai livecd ubuntu yang diketahui boleh disetup supaya berinternet.. lolz..

lepas bergoogle, terjumpe la bahawa maybe bukan bermasalah hal.dll, tapi maybe grub dah korupkan xp punyer boot.ini.. ade beberapa solution disenaraikan.. nanti2 lah saye mencube.. sekarang mahu ke village, cik diba mahu membuat lasagna dan saye perlu membeli cendawan..

babai..

edited: sudah bulih bermain xp.. membace di google, perlu mendelete dan merebuild boot.ini.. tapi recovery cd xp plak tak bleh nk boot.. hampeh.. maka rase benci terhadap fedora menyebabkan mahu menginstall ubuntu kembali ke atasnya.. setelah selesai, bulih sahaja bermain xp tanpa segan silu.. bagus betul ubuntu memperbaiki boot.ini itu kembali secara otomatik sewaktu menginstall grub.. saya sayang ubuntu.. maaf karena cuba menduakan kamu :(

lepas tu, setelah lame bersiar2 di interweb.. berkenalan pula dengan si penguin..

penguin.jpg

kemudian, terase lapar, dan ingin memakan epal.. tapi harge epal mahal.. tak mampu saye..

epal.jpg

namum malam tadi cik azamrina ade memberikan info bahawa epal kini boleh didapati di pasaran gelap.. akan tetapi ade beberapa kriteria yang perlu ditepati sebelum boleh memiliki epal itu.. maka, jika saye mahu memiliki epal itu, saye mungkin perlu menunggu lagi, atau pun berbelian saje epal di pasaran sebenar :roll:
